Petrol price watch

Petrol prices are edging closer to a record high today with motorists being hit with a 1p a litre fuel duty increase - but where are the cheapest and most expensive garages in the region?

The rise will take prices from an average of 117.8p a litre to just under 119p - almost up to the record of 119.7p reached in 2008.

The pain could have been even greater for road users if Chancellor Alistair Darling had not decided to introduce the near-3p fuel duty rise - scheduled for April 1 - in three stages.
